That was our plan except we were going to leave at noonish until things went south. Still hoping I can get the drive together by Friday but otherwise I will be making a phone call from Pine Island.

ICW is probably a good call, looks like it is going to be sporty in the Gulf on Friday.

You got the right idea Danny! Just gettin' there ought to be at least half the fun! Denny

I wanted to make the run myself from Cedar Key but the amount of fuel $$$ and my limited time off wouldn't allow for a weather contingency if needed. I did ask the wife to just drive the truck and trailer down there to cover for that but it was vetoed .
No worrys though, retirements coming and my goal this weekend is to live like Island Trader and travel like Bushwacker!

So is it better for me to park my car at Eldred ' s marina or Pineland Marina to catch a ride to Cabbage Key?

[DonV]

Jim it depends which way your coming from. From the north Eldreds, or as Terry likes to call them Elrods, from the south or east Pineland would be closer. Your call, we can find you as long as you wait at the dock with your Mickey Mouse ears on.

I'll be coming through Elrods around 1 pm on Friday. You're welcome to a ride.

Jim, Been around them parts for a while -
Cabbage key to Eldred's - 12.5 miles across Charlotte Harbor
Cabbage Key to Pineland - 4.60 miles across somewhat protected,
Pine Island Sound.
It kinda depends on when you'er going to get there. If you can catch a ride with Conner, his boat smoothes out evetything even when it's blow'in 15. Pineland is about 45 minutes south of Eldred's by car but ya' get to go down Burn Store Road and then through Matlacha' and that is a treat. If the wind comes up like it's supposed to we'll need a 23 to get you at Eldred's. We can git you in a Scampi at Pineland in a Hurricane.
It's all good Brother - you'er com'in from South Carolina we'll pick you up in Tarpon Springs! Just turn them wheels and we'll see you at the dock!
